I will agree though that the Anton is good looking but in my opinion the Dora is better (not by much) and is just below the TA-152 which is on par with the Spitfire. And remember Lanc, you like French bombers...

| Okay, Several points.
I have searched for French Bomber in the photos area, and have found none.
Due to the multinational component of this board, I will refrain from comment on French Military anything.
Why is this thread still going? It's obvious that the dora is the best looking FW-190 by a margin of about 2-1.
Granted the Anton is a very good looking aircraft, it evolved into the Dora. Since the Dora came after the anton, it means that the Dora is an Improvement over the Anton.
Is the TA-152 still considered a FW-190, or was it a totally different aircraft for some reason that I'm unaware of?
It looks to me Like a Dora based plane, but I don't know everything.
I do However know that the Dora is Better looking than the anton. | |

| in this case it is true however this isn't always the case, like the swordfish and albacore............. Quote: |

| we had this debate a little while back, i considder it a different plane because there are slight differences between the 190D and 152 and simply beacause of the fact it has a different designation, however many considder it the same............ Quote: |

| you utter utter fool

The Ta-152 is only named so to honour the designer, Kurt Tank. Its essentially still a -190.

Country: | good lord look at them beauties 
and i think the fact there are slight differences between the -190D and the -152 and the name change does make it a different plane..........

Country: | Hey fellas, doesnt it make a difference to u that the Ta-152's were already named Fw-190's during the prototype phase??
The first phase of the Focke-Wulf design resulted in the Fw-190Ra-2 and Fw-190Ra-3, based on the Fw-190D with the Jumo 213 engine.... The second phase design was assigned the designation Fw-190Ra-4D....
THEN they decided out of respect for Dr. Tank to rename them the Ta-152B and H, and the Fw-190Ra-4D renamed Ta-153....
The Ta-152 series was and is a developement of the Fw-190D.... Period....

Country: | I tend to also, however Les is correct in that it was a development of the Fw-190D. Late Fw-190D's even had there designation changed to Ta-152.
